The Hotel Pool Is Closed Today
The Hotel Pool Is Closed Today
By Elton Camp
We were on vacation down Florida way
Picked a hotel where we wanted to stay
Weather was hot, so in order to get cool
We went out back for a dip in the pool
A crude sign read, “Pool closed today.”
“What’s behind that,” I did angrily say
I was about to go to the office to protest
When my wife pointed & said, “It’s best.”
The way she indicated, I directed my eyes
Then gave a gasp of horror and surprise
The alligator lurking in the pool so low
An excellent reason, in the water not to go
